1 | The word fasting in Mark 9:29 | Mark 9:29 | beana21 | 208651 | ||
I was reading Mark 9:29 in NASB and it states "And He said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer." I was then looking at KJV Bible and it says same thing except at the end "prayer and fasting." The KJV adds the word fasting. I went to my greek bible and it shows a word for fasting. I am just curious which version would be right with the translation. Does anyone have any insight? thanks, |

2 | The word fasting in Mark 9:29 | Mark 9:29 | Matt1078 | 208752 | ||
Hi beana21, I came across the same verse, a wile back as I was reading my Greek Interlinear Bible. I asked the same question, then became aware of the fact, Jesus had taught them about fasting. Matt. 6:16-18 16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. Jesus taught them that fasting was a private thing, he never told them, it was to be used in conjunction with ministry. When asked the question, "why don't your disciples fast", Jesus answered. Matt. 9:15 - And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. With that said, in studying the question you have asked, I followed the word Fasting, as far as I could, with my limited resources, coming to a point where I can understand, a possible reason why the translators, would have inserted the word (fasting) but it is speculation on my part. Be Blessed Matt |
